This report from the National Employment Law Project (NELP), documents both the failings and accomplishments of the Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) program’s critical worker protections.

The findings are based primarily on data collected by NELP on hundreds of TWIC applicants NELP represented through the TWIC review process. No such data has been produced by TSA. Thus, this is the first evaluation of the TWIC program’s procedures that were created to protect the rights of workers and ensure the integrity of the TWIC security threat assessment.
